Protein-Packed Creamy Pasta | No Straining, No Fuss
If you’re tired of dry “healthy” pasta, you need this secret sauce hack! 🍝 By blending cottage cheese and mozzarella with starchy pasta water, we get a velvety, rich sauce that packs over 30g of protein without any heavy cream. This is my go-to “one-pot” meal—no straining, no extra dishes, just pure gains.
Instructions
- Cook pasta in 1L water (don't drain it!).
- Blend all sauce ingredients (Cottage Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, Pasta Sauce, Tomato Paste, Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Salt) with 1 cup of the starchy pasta water.
- Add edamame and the blended sauce to the pot with the cooked pasta.
- Stir for 1-2 minutes until glossy and thick.
